He was born in a depressed nation
Started tough and worked his way right off the street

Thumbed his nose at a graduation
Wheeled and dealed, his education was complete

He’s got all his hair, but his life is a wreck
Always been a brat, he don’t get no respect
He’s got the time, he’s got the money

You better get out of his way
You better watch out for him, sonny

Back to school
He’s gonna take that plunge
Gonna jump back in there
Back to school
He’s gonna shape his mind
Gonna shed old skin there

Back to school

Spent some time in appreciation of finer arts
And the human body mysteries
Scoring high in procreation
Got an ‘A’ in the study of female anatomy

He thinks about his teacher in his literary class

He’s staring at her legs
But he’s dreaming ’bout her face
He’s got the time
He’s got the money
You better get out of his way
You better watch out for him, sonny

Back to school
He’s gonna take that plunge

Gonna jump back in there
Back to school
He’s gonna shape his mind
Gonna shed old skin there
Back to school
